He didn't make the call. He & Bridget Kelly were just following orders. He's trying to get immunity any way he can. Weird because CC hardly knows the guy.
Political appointees who mess with the lives of thousands of people for the sole purpose of getting back at one guy, which is what seems to have happened here, deserve draconian sentences. I don't see why that's so controversial. If what seems to be true is true, he screwed with people's lives over a non-received political endorsement. What would you give him if he's indeed guilty? And no, this approach won't require more prisons once the people whom have not hurt others are released.
Red tape keeps vital road de-icing salt from being delivered to NJ. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...-as-it-waits-for-federal-waiver-to-jones-act/
There's no evidence to suggest this (at least not yet), but if it can be so proven, yes, he should get a similar punishment.
I mean there's no e-mail or text message from Christie with the order, as we've seen with the others. We certainly haven't gotten to "beyond reasonable doubt" yet. Do I think he was involved? I think there's more to be discovered.
Give him a 40 yr old Pinto with no heat, A/C or radio, close the local lanes for a year and make him commute through Cliffside Park & Fort Lee's roads. When he gets to NYC he has to wait till rush hour then start at the UN & commute back through the Lincoln Tunnel with only one tube available. When the year is up, he has to write a traffic study entitled "Why No Politician Should Ever F#ck With A Citizen's Commute."
What do NJ and WI have in common? More than you think... http://www.thenation.com/blog/178464/emails-charges-probes-chris-christie-no-scott-walker

I've gotta say, it seems like MSNBC is Benghazi-ing this thing. Wall-to-wall coverage even when there's not really any news. Yawn. I think in part it's because Maddow got aLOT of criticism even from the (conservative) mainstream media when she was pursuing this story earlier and there's a sense of vindication and validation.

I'm generally against electronic surveillance. But we should stop bugging the A-rabs and bug every NJ pol. They'd have to wear those ankle bracelets and when discussions start to become fishy, they get a nice shock from Big Brother. Kinda what my sister does with her wayward golden retriever.
You asked for it! Couldn't find the video of him peppering his eggs for several minutes, while a federal informant tries to bribe him.

Will "my way or the highway" end? NJ's Supreme Court established the presumption that divorced parents are required to pay for their children's college education, to avoid countless battles. Now, someone wants to expand it to still-married parents: http://www.dailyrecord.com/comments...20017/Morris-Catholic-senior-sues-her-parents Not much sympathy in the comments, mostly from moms.
